Tax Cut Talk
But Delay of Reduction
Until Next Year Is
More LiUely
By B. L. LIVINGSTONE
WASHINGTON un - The nrns-
poet of budget cuts today revived
talk in Congress of income tax
reduction.
Inlluential House leaders took
nonce 01 it by stating privately
inai reduction of government
spending by as much as three nr
four billion dollars might start a
Bidiiipeae- lor general tax relief
But the strong Dossibihlv re..
niained that even if the budget is
cut substantially, tax cuts would
'be delayed until next Vear when
Congress members could learn
the actual size of a surplus, rather
man an estimate of it.
President Eisenhower's budget
estimates show an anticipated
surplus of $1,700,000,000 for this
fiscal year ending June 30. and
i,buu,uuo,uoo for fiscal 1958.
Might Go to S Billion
If the President's 1958 spending
budget of $71,800,000,000 is cut by
mree Diiuon dollars, as some
Appropriations Committee mem
bers say can be done, the gov
ernment would start its new bus
iness year next July 1 with f
prospect surplus of nearly five
billion dollars.
Some leaders feel that such a
situation might make it impossi
ble to head off demands for gen
eral tax relief.
Thus far, Capitol Hill has been
in general agreement with the
Eisenhower administration that
tax reduction is "out" because of
Its inflationary aspects at a time
when curbs are being placed on
credit expansion. The administra
tion has contended also that any
surplus should go toward reducing
the national debt.
Rep. Mills (D-Ark), influential
member of the tax-writing Ways
and Means Committee who 'fre
quently reflects the attitude ' of
House leaders, said:
"If we can create three or four
billion dollars of surplus through
reduction of expenditures, I would
want the American taxpayer to
enjoy a part of that reduction."
Might Have to Cut Taxes
Rep. McCarthy (D-Minn), also
n member of the committee, said
in response to a reporter's ques
tions that in the event of a large
surplus Congress might have to
cut taxes "Jor the sake of the
economy."
He said "a surplus of $1,800,000,.
000 probably would be . about all
the economy could carry."
: Rep. Eberharter (D-Pa),
other committee member, pre
dicted that a Ways 'and Means
will recommend later this session
a reduction in federal , excise
(sales) taxes of about 900 million
dollars.
Rep. Reed ot New York, the
senior Republican on the Ways
and Means Committee, told a re
porter that he didn't expect the
House . to reduce taxes until
1958, an election year.
Alaskans Slap
At Neuberger
JUNEAU m Alaska Republi
cans dispute the charge of Sen.
Neuberger (D-Ore) that a "raw,
naked bitter struggle" within the
party is holding up President Eis
enhower's appointment of a new
governor and that the Territory is
suffering as a result.
Russ Arnette, president of the
Anchorage Republican Club, said
Neuberger s criticism is un
founded." Republican leaders in the Legis
lature declined to be quoted di
rectly but one commented: "It
just aint so."
Sid Charles, publisher of the
Ketchikan News, suggested Neu
berger should pay more attention
to Oregon affairs and less to
Alaska. He said Alaska, under an
acting governor, appears to be
getting along all right but that he
can't say the same for Oregon,
on the basis of evidence before
the 'current Senate investigating
committee hearing.
